Felicity scored a job - she's become a cupid. Cupid is no longer only for adults and there's a whole slew of them. With this new job, Felicity has the power to create love matches by sending blank emails to the couple with potential.

There are rules involved: each potential couple must have at least three points of common interest, you don't hook up more than one person with another, and above all you must learn from the matches that don't make it after the two-week trial period.

Felicity can't wait to test out her new powers. Instead of reading the manual, she's learning by trial and fire. The magic arrow email has two weeks to work and then wears off. If the couple stays together after that, the match works; if not, well, one can always try again.

Soon, she's juggling a couple who cares about the environment. She also sets up her best friend with three potential boyfriends and now has to run interference. Plus, she made matches between her arch-rival and a creep, as well as a smart girl with a wise-cracking guy. Will any of her matches survive?

STUPID CUPID is the start of a charming new trilogy filled with humor, disasters, friendship, and love that readers can't help but adore.
